China or India Could Have Invested In UK Comics -That was the pipe-dream!

 

In October 2015 I posted about the possibility of Chinese investment in UK comics. This is the link but there have been several posts up to 2019{ https://hoopercomicart.blogspot.com/2015/12/chinese-investment-for-uk-comics-needed.html

At one point I was talking to Indian publishers who had everything required to print comics as well as cheap expert rules and that fell through because, after initial enthusiasm, they seemed to be just content with India.  

I had posted a number of times on the two countries most likely to see the rather open UK comic market place for investment and printing quality books in their country and importing them into the UK. One was India which seemed a real possibility but China was the most likely as they are a lot smoother in running business and getting the goods on the shelf.  Sadly, China -or rather Chinese publishers- never showed any interest and were more concerned with producing Japanese Manga style comics.

Well, I tried which is better than going to conventions and bars and getting drunk while back-stabbing all your comic "friends".  I think 😄

2015年10月，我曾发帖探讨中国投资英国漫画的可能性。这是链接，但截至2019年，我已发布多篇帖子{ https://hoopercomicart.blogspot.com/2015/12/chinese-investment-for-uk-comics-needed.html

我曾与一些印度出版商洽谈，他们拥有印刷漫画所需的一切条件，以及价格低廉的专业规则，但最终未能如愿，因为在最初的热情过后，他们似乎只对印度感到满意。

我曾多次发帖，探讨两个最有可能看到英国漫画市场开放的国家，投资这些国家，并在其国家印刷优质漫画，然后进口到英国。其中一个是印度，这似乎是一个切实可行的选择，但中国的可能性更大，因为他们在运营和上架方面更加顺畅。可惜的是，中国——或者更确切地说是中国的出版商——从未表现出任何兴趣，他们更关心的是制作日式漫画。
